Which bed?

Hi Anthony.   Thank you for your enquiry. Not too sure about this.  I’m going to do some investigating about quantities to see if all as it seems. Will mail you by the end of the week. Thanks, John. Update: I have tried three times to email you on the… Read More

Where is your £200 mattress?

Hi Dave.   Fair comment. In context, the comment I make about using a double side mattress without turning was made as a further objection to one-sided mattresses. I reiterate: There are no benefits to the consumer for a one-sided mattress. Using a double sided mattress without regular turning was… Read More

Spink and Edgar Elite comparisons?

Hi David. Sorry, but short answer is No. A point to note is that only Harrisons use Hemp[ure] in their blends as well as an actual component part. Something else to consider and not usually at the forefront of your mind when trying electric adjustable mattresses is that there is… Read More

Which bedframe do you recommend?

Hi Jane, Thank you for your enquiry.  We have recently released a range of high-quality Ottoman bases made to our exacting standards. As you can imagine there are literally hundreds of suppliers, and it is as equally frustrating trying to find the right products at the right price. Read More

Even though all pocketed springs use the same… Read More

What is the best mattress for back and hip problems

Hi Jilly,   Thanks for your question and what an excellent question.   Don’t think for one moment that a bed retailer will know exactly what mattress will be correct for any kind of back ailment.   Our guidance would be that you would normally need… Read More

Can I firm up a memory foam mattress?

Hi Yvonne. The problem with your mattress may not be altogether down to your slatted base. If you are considering purchasing a ‘firm othopaedic mattress based on your current experience then this is entirely the wrong way to go. Your current mattress seems to have been… Read More

Do slats help the mattress to breathe?

Hi Shena, The Sandringham is not a run of the mill model and because of this it seems somewhat inadequate that a sheet of hardboard is used as a level of protection for your mattress. My recomendation of an ‘Old Quilt’ is a [better than nothing] idiom. I do not… Read More

Replacing Dunlopillo latex mattress

Hi Susan,   Thanks for your question.   I’m afraid there will be nothing to compare to your old Dunlopillo and the closest we would be able to supply to fit in with your budget will be our Origins Latex 1500.   Our Origins Pocket Latex 1500 is a… Read More
